A group fitness instructor shares his favorite post-race meal and recovery methods
Running is an excellent mode of exploration when visiting new cities. And signing up for a race in a spot you’re planning to visit is even more ideal as you’reguaranteed a set route and fuel along the way. The London Landmarks Half Marathon on March 25th2018 checks those boxes—and brings it to the next level, taking participants past Big Ben, The Tower of London, and the London Eye as well as quirky and hidden landmarks such as Oscar Wilde’s memorial. To commemorate the special event, for which Equinox is the official fitness and training partner, we’ll be introducing you to our London-based Equinox run crew including personal trainers who specialize in running and even a world-class professional marathoner who coaches novice and elite athletes alike. Take note of their favorite exercises, training strategies, restaurant recommendations, and more.
Last week, we heard from George Rose.This week, we’re featuring Rory Knight.
A born-and-bred Londoner, Rory Knight travels the world for both work and adventure but always finds himself gravitating back to his home city. As a group fitness instructor at Equinox’s London locations, he teaches Tread & Shred, Precision Running, and cycling classes. A runner himself, he focuses on 5K, 10K, and 1-mile races. Knight’s training style is focused especially on mindset, and he prides himself on his “ability to connect with people and enable them to unlock their athletic potential” by combatting a lack of self-belief. “I instill people with the confidence, belief, and the positive mindset that they need to reach and achieve their goals,” he says.
